lunch today

i was having indecision as to what to eat for lunch so i just went to the grocery to see what i could find. when i walk in they have all these lovely flowers for like $2 a bunch! so of course i had to buy a couple. i pick these beautiful gladiolas. but, houston we have a problem! i dont have a big HUGE vase to put them in. opps. so here i am trying to shove all these big, tall flowers in this tiny pitcher. haha. so bc they kinda spread out its like they are taking up the whole living room. oh well.

its a good day anyway.

forktailed flycatcher

i made this for my granny's birthday.

i want to practice illustrating more. i still would like to try the project idea of doing illustrations on photographs. i really like the style they had in art nouveau posters. it seemed like everything was done with a hard outline and lightly filled. i have always adored Mucha, so i guess i want to strive toward that.

i wanna be friends with...
